fast comute to train station
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location in the heart of Brooklyn, with easy access to shops, restaurants, museums, and entertainment. The excellent public transportation system can save you time and money.
Cons:
Well, this building is great when it's clean. Unfortunately, 45 percent of the people living in the apartment are not careful with the cleanliness, and it's hard for the superintendent to keep it up.
Advice to owner:
should check a litle bit more neigthbors smoking weed close the building
